Steven Finn was a hard-nosed defenceman and solid team player who lasted 725 games in the NHL. His tireless work ethic and durability were assets to all three clubs on which he played.

Born in Laval, Quebec, Finn played three years with the local Voisins of the QMJHL. He provided grit and occasional offense on a club that was led by future superstar Mario Lemieux. Finn was drafted 57th overall by the Quebec Nordiques in 1984 then went out and scored 20 goals for Laval. He began the 1985-86 season in junior but was called up to the NHL to play 17 games.

Finn split the 1986-87 season between the Nordiques and the Fredericton Express of the AHL. The next year he began an eight-year run as a regular on the Nords' defence brigade. As the team declined in the late 1980s, the rugged blueliner continued to play each game as though it was the seventh game of the Stanley Cup final.

The veteran blueliner was a member of the last edition of the Nordiques in 1994-95 before they moved to Colorado. Finn initially made the trip West but was traded to the Tampa Bay Lightning prior to the start of the 1995-96 season. He lasted 16 games in Tampa then was sent to the L.A. Kings for fellow defenceman Michel Petit. Finn played 54 games for the Kings in 1996-97 then spent the next season in nearby Long Beach with the IHL's Ice Dogs before retiring.
